APPS for tracking or Any other good APPS for WLS patients?



Recommended Posts

Was wondering If anyone has a user friendly app for tracking what you eat during the day especially Protein and calories. I am not a big fan of My fitness Pal as I can't seem to be able to put in the exact amount ...ex 1.5 ounces chicken. .

You can log exact amount in MFP. However, I have a friend that uses Lose It and know other folks who track on Spark people.

I like Fat Secret. It's very easy and includes restaurants and exercise too.

You can change the amount, it took me a while to find out how to do it too -- just select the amount and put the actual amount you ate.

I also find its better to err on the side of more than less just for my calorie count now (but not something you need to worry about right away anyway).

I haven't used any of the other food counter apps, but I have a few other ones I use.

I have a Fitbit Aria scale, and track weight there. It syncs with www.trendweight.com (which also syncs with some other scales Withings, I think and I don't recall what else) and projects data and weight loss trends.

I have a Fitbit Force -- but this has just been recalled due to skin irritation issues -- and because I have a small irritated spot, I've discontinued use of that tracker in the meantime. However, I will say that having a tracker similar to a Fitbit is EXTREMELY awesome. There are lots on the market right now.

YMMV on how much data you like to have though, as I know not everyone likes the amount of data and stats I do. :)

Good luck on your journey!

I use Mynetdiary.com, Fitbit One, Aria scale, Bodytrack.it and Bariatric Pal. MND, FB and Aria all sync together tracking weight, food, exercise and fluids. Bodytrack.it keeps measurements and pictures - so you can see your progress. There is a lot out there - check everything out and see what you like best. ????

I use loseit! I've also tried MFP but, I like Loseit better! I got the Loseit scale also. That's pretty cool because when you weigh yourself, it automatically enters into the APP!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
